Although official data indicate that the Serbian economy is composed of over 97,000 small and medium-sized companies, as well as that their participation in the overall Serbian economic activity and employment is very important, these companies are still faced with a significant lack of external financing sources, which are currently primary structured in the form of loans and other similar products of commercial banks, while other sources of external financing are still mostly underdeveloped.<\/p>\n
For innovative companies in the early stage of development banking financing sources are particularly inaccessible.<\/p>\n
In order to encourage public dialogue and support creation of diversified financing structure, tailored to each stage of business development of domestic companies, WM Equity Partners, on the 14th<\/sup> September 2017, with the support of USAID Business Enabling Project, organized a public discussion related to that issue.<\/p>\n Public discussion was very successful and brought together over 95 participants, of which 33% were representatives of small and medium-sized companies in Serbia, interested in collecting new information and knowledge on this topic.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_video _builder_version=”3.0.77″ src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rauTpufoZ-g” image_src=”\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/rauTpufoZ-g\/hqdefault.jpg” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.77″ custom_margin=”||0px|” custom_padding=”||0px|” use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”EXPERIENCE ” module_id=”pro” _builder_version=”3.0.76″ text_font_size=”16″ header_text_color=”#ffffff” custom_margin=”0px||0px|” custom_css_main_element=”border-top:1px solid #002F6C;” background_layout=”light” border_style=”solid” custom_padding=”||0px|” module_alignment=”left”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”About panel” closed_toggle_background_color=”#a8c5e8″ closed_toggle_text_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#002f6c” _builder_version=”3.0.76″ open=”off” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” border_style=”solid” body_font_size=”16″ body_font_size_tablet=”14″ custom_padding=”10px|10px|10px|10px”]<\/p>\n This panel session is dedicated to local Venture Capital and Private Equity funds and companies from their investment portfolio sharing their story \u2013 expectations they had, results they have accomplished and general experience concerning their partnership including the process of preparing company for financing.<\/p>\n Vladimir Pavlovi\u0107, CEO, WM Equity Partners<\/p>\n Jan Kobler, Managing Partner, SC Ventures<\/p>\n Igor Jovi\u0107, CEO \/ Founder, City Experts Global<\/p>\n Milan Popadi\u0107, CUBE Team<\/p>\n Dragan Markovi\u0107, Tetragon<\/p>\n Neboj\u0161a Lazi\u0107, Managing Director, StartLabs<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Zakljucak” title=”Panel conclusions” closed_toggle_background_color=”#a8c5e8″ closed_toggle_text_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#002f6c” _builder_version=”3.0.76″ open=”off” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” border_style=”solid” body_font_size=”16″ body_font_size_tablet=”14″ custom_padding=”10px|10px|10px|10px”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_text admin_label=”REGIONAL EXPERIENCE” module_id=”pro” _builder_version=”3.0.77″ text_font_size=”16″ header_text_color=”#ffffff” custom_margin=”20px||0px|” custom_css_main_element=”border-top:1px solid #002F6C;” background_layout=”light” border_style=”solid” custom_padding=”||0px|” module_alignment=”left”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”About panel” closed_toggle_background_color=”#a8c5e8″ closed_toggle_text_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#002f6c” _builder_version=”3.0.76″ open=”off” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” border_style=”solid” body_font_size=”16″ body_font_size_tablet=”14″ custom_padding=”10px|10px|10px|10px”]<\/p>\n This panel session is dedicated to regional experiences, sharing local success story of increasing access to finance for SME\u2019s.
